“We live for each other.” From the moment I heard Alpha Delta Pi’s open motto, I could tell it was indubitably true. Even through the screen of virtual recruitment, the women I would grow to love like sisters fully and completely modeled a family. Every smile, welcoming anecdote, and deep connection was a testimony to the short aphorism that every woman in the chapter lives by.

To the women of ADPi, sisterhood is more than formals and events. This has been even more clear this year, as those functions have been largely absent during this season of COVID. However, as a new member, I can confidently say that the trustful hunch I felt during recruitment has not let me down. From a friendly face in an intimidating class, to my go-to cookout buddy, to someone to cry with on a particularly tough week, I can confidently say that the women of ADPi have truly lived for me during my time so far in our chapter. I decided to go ADPi because I knew that the women of this chapter would be a found family--one that I get to choose every day, and one that constantly and consistently chooses me in return.
